Jersey, 1940. In the quiet of the English Channel, war is brewing. When the Nazis first set foot on her island home, 16-year-old Marcy comes to realize that nothing will ever be the same. Fueled by the devastating disappearance of the man she loves and in defiance of her distant mother, Violet, she joins forces with fellow islander Louisa to aid Jersey's secret resistance.

But what she does not know is that Violet and Louisa have a long, sordid history: a decades-old story of friendship, enmity, and a web of devastating secrets with the power to destroy lives.

As the war drags on and the resistance operations become increasingly more perilous, the three women's loyalties will be put to the test. Can they put their past behind them to fight together for a future? Or will the secrets they harbor ultimately lead them to commit the greatest betrayal?

This stunning debut novel by Rachael Dymski about the bonds of family and the power of friendship will capture your heart and imagination. Perfect for readers who love Kristin Hannah and Jina Bacarr.
